Peppermint Candy Oreos
Ingredients
- 1 package Oreos
- 1 cup white chocolate (melting wafers or chips work well)
- 25 peppermint candies, crushed
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20–30 second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
Dip each Oreo halfway into the melted white chocolate and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
While the chocolate is still warm, sprinkle the crushed peppermint candy over the dipped portion of the cookie.
Allow the cookies to cool and the chocolate to set at room temperature for about 1 hour.
Serve and enjoy!
Notes & Variations
- Swap the white chocolate for milk or dark chocolate if you prefer.
- Try crushed candy canes instead of round peppermint candies.
- Add festive sprinkles for extra color.
- Use flavored Oreos (mint, golden, chocolate hazelnut, etc.) to switch things up.
- Add chopped nuts for a salty crunch.
Storage
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Do not refrigerate — this can cause the peppermint to get sticky and the chocolate to bloom.
